Words cannot express the devastation and loss we are experiencing. Jan was a true and faithful friend. Our ‘Twinkie’ circle now has a huge hole without her. My heart is bleeding for Lauren and Matthew. My sympathies to them and her siblings, John, Jim, Jeff and Julie and to John as well. Prayers of peace and comfort go out for everyone in this time of sadness. It is hard to think of going on without her. Jan had so much love in her heart for her family and friends, she would want us to concentrate on and remember the good times. There were so many. I’d like to think she is busy right now catching up with her Mom who I know she missed very much. May God’s Holy Spirit surround us, comfort us and give us strength to make it thru these next few days and the days to come! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for the family. Love and prayers, Doreen
